Lord’s set for £50m redevelopment

Lord’s cricket ground is to benefit from a £50 million redevelopment project.

The news comes after owners Marylebone Cricket Club were granted planning permission to replace two stands.

Plans include replacing the Compton and Edrich stands at the Nursery End of the London ground by new three-tier stands.

Construction is due to start on 24 August, a week after England's second Ashes Test against Australia, with the seats ready to be used from 2020.
